THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE
Following is a quotation from i
the Christian Century of Janu- ■
ary 14: “If it is true that 40. per
cent of all Americans elver 14 do
not drink M all—that’s the. figiire
usually^giveri—the remaining 60
percent must be stawM Wriy
more than a $nt of liquor every
day. One need not be a bluenose
to b? exercised as such a disclos
ure. Nothing less than the future
of the nation , is threatened. It is
time for^_a_ great-L^grijto_.pro^
mote personal total abstirierice,
What the nation needs in it^ cit
izens today is clear minds' and
steady rier-ves. Few who aye put
ting away a pint, of liquor; cfe
have either;. Teetotaler therefore
becomes another word for pat
riot”.—Advt.
WOLF CUBS
The usual good turnout result
ed 'for last week’s Cub meeting,
with Sixer John .Andrew con-
duCtirig the opening ceremonies.

sented each Cub with their 1952-
1953 memibershipcard.SixerBill

Prayer.- •
; Just another reminder, pad,
about your lad’s membership fee.
There is still 25c owing , on his
full membership in the Pack so
kindly see that this is’paid at

The annual skating party was
held Friday evening under the
direction of the Literary Society.
The? first .event was the broom
ball game.; It was sompwhait of a
“bang-up affair” and it is need
less. to say who got 'banged up.
Anyway the score was 4-0 for
the boys, on goals by H. Howald,
M. Chin, A. Baker and R, Barr.
Despite the advantages of
shorter‘-bandledbrooms>r aboxful
of semi-professional players (to
8 girls);* and male,enthusiasm in
general, ,/the girls fought cour
ageously to hold sthescore to a.
closedecision. We think that
those eight girls should |be award
ed 'medals of bravery for out
standing action under severely
adverse conditions. ..
Abe Chin,- the referee, handled
the game superbly! »
■ Numerous contests were con
ducted iby the ^entertainment com
mittee. We'overheard these com
ments: “The girls sure took aid-’
vantage of Sadie Hawkin’s skat
ing”; “Who ate our orange in the
orangecontest?”
Another event of the evening.
Who was the lady in the blue
ski jacket who attempted her first
skate? We thought she was a
very good' sport. So did the rest
of the students.
A lunch of doughnuts and cofj
fee was served.
